[MAINEVENT]

Being in the midst of contest prep I saw this pic and thought HOLY SHIT! Even with the arsenal of 'weapons' these days, I dont think many could compare to this back.

I agree edge, I am a fan of the more classic physique. Has there ever been a pole on here to see what people feel is the better "look" and representation for bodybuilding?

the human body has not evolved but the science behind nutrition, training, supplementation, and pharmacueticals has. something you cannot deny.

If I could have 25% of what Bannout had for my show I would be extremely happy.

Hope your doing well my friend. Hit me up with a pm and let me know how you've been doing if you get a chance.

OMG! I hope that is some other steve, it's gotta be ..... I about spit out my water when I saw that lmfao!!!

That back is awesome..

 

[cecray3]

Hell of a back and although we, as humans, have not evolved, science has. However, everyone wants to get their "piece of the pie" also so there is an overabundance of misleading and one-sided info. out there tons of worthless supplements so we must really do our homework these days to truly get the benefit of these advances in science.

I thought this was the ideal physique when I saw his pics in Muscle & Fitness in '83. For one day he was the best in the world at what he did.
